Aston Villa vs Fulham
England League Championship
Date: Saturday, 22nd October 2016,
Kick-Off at 15:00 UK
Venue: Villa Park, Birmingham.

 Aston Villa look to be turning a corner already under new boss Steve Bruce and they face Fulham at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon. We’ve got the best betting tips for the game in the Championship.

Aston Villa got their first away win in 438 days in midweek as they scored late on to see off Reading at the Majeski. There’s definitely something about Steve Bruce and his ability to galvanise a side and he appears to be already having an impact on the Villains. They are a talented bunch, but the mentality has been hard to shake, but Bruce looks like the man to sort it out. They will look to get the fans back on side as they host Fulham at Villa Park. They’re yet to lose here, but have picked up five draws from their opening six games here and fans have not seen maximum points picked up since the 13th of August. Fulham have improved of late as well. Slavisa Jokanovic’s side had a forgettable September, but have progressed nicely with 4 points from 6 in the last seven days. The midweek 2-2 draw with Norwich was particularly impressive and helped knock the Canaries off top spot. Chris Martin is proving a shrewd acquisition with two goals in two. They won their last away game 4-2 at Oakwell and will be full of confidence as they travel to the midlands.

Aston Villa vs Fulham Betting Predictions

I’m going to side with home team here for my first Aston Villa vs Fulham betting tip. It’s not often we tip Aston Villa for the victory, but they looked lively on Tuesday night and I think back at home they can turn 1 point into 3. Fulham may have won at Barnsley, but the Tykes are slipping down the table at an alarming rate and Villa will be much harder to break down.

Fulham will play their part in this game and will provide plenty of threat. They’ve netted six in two games and will be brimming with confidence. This could be an entertaining one so we’re getting on over 2.5 goals for our second Aston Villa vs Fulham prediction this weekend.
